- Great Ideas For Fixing Up Your House
This is a very informative magazine. It always has a number of different articles pertaining to a number of remodeling projects around the house,both inside and outside. If you are thinking of doing any projects now or in the near future,it would be great to subscribe to "This Old House" magazine. By reading what the experts have to tell you and seeing the pictures of the projects from start to finish,it will give you the incentive to start that project that you have been putting off. Try it for at least a year and see;I feel that you will be pleased with what you see as well as what you can accomplish on your own.

- Eye candy
I agree that Fine Homebuilding is the much better investment. You'll gain much more knowledge from watching TOH than reading this magazine.

TOH is a beautifully produced magazine but not much more than that.
